Thousands of Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) aspirants staged protests at Gandhi Maidan, Patna, demanding the cancellation of the 70th preliminary exams over alleged paper leaks. Police resorted to lathi charges and water cannons to disperse protestors who breached barricades near JP Golambar. Demonstrators seek Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s intervention, with activist Prashant Kishor supporting their demand, citing systemic corruption in Bihar’s exams. The district magistrate warned against gatherings at Gandhi Maidan and announced strict action against coaching centers inciting protests. The exams, conducted on December 13, have faced scrutiny due to claims of irregularities and leaked question papers.
